We accept children from the age of 9. The admissions systemn is based on the new members form (which is under the Membership form heading) which will be assessed when received. but as we have to keep to a fixed ratio of coaches and athletes this might not mean we can offer you membership (we would welcome anyone willing to help in running the club)

Potential members are welcome to visit the club before joining.

Coaching is conducted by qualified UK Athletics Coaches (DBS checked). The club operates specialist training groups, although under 11 and 13 squads are expected to try all athletics disciplines.
